Chapter 117: The sound they make
Chapter 117: The sound they make
Wuji Gu's consciousness seemed to be slowly sinking, and he vaguely saw a pale shadow in the midst of a dark blue.
"You ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of water was poured into his mouth, making Wuji Gu struggle, but his body was almost completely out of his control, and the figure seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
But because of the lack of oxygen, Wuji Gu's vision was blurred, and even if he opened his eyes wide, he could not see what was in front of him.
In the consciousness will be completely far away, he saw steeply appeared in front of his eyes, a golden eye.
......
............
Wuji Gu's mind tingled and he abruptly withdrew from the bizarre state, his consciousness immediately woke up.
He propped himself up and coughed out a lot of water to the side, gasping for breath, able to breathe fresh air to make him feel alive.
Only then did Wuji Gu notice that he was soaked to the skin, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and the liquid left in his mouth was very salty, indeed seawater.
It is impossible for someone to pour seawater to this side while he sleeps, although this institute is right on the beach, but it is not easy to reach the sea.
"What's going on? I was just dreaming, but it was like my body had really entered the seawater ......" Wuji Gu sat up and looked around the bed, but found that the bed was in a very dry state except for the place where his body touched.
This dream is bound to encounter ghosts, in Wuji Gu's body is not the first time it happened. If another person may have a psychological shadow afraid to sleep, but for Wuji Gu, usually he will just fall back to sleep.
But even reality is affected by the situation is still very rare, not to mention Wuji Gu's clothes and body are wet by the sea, such a situation and then continue to bury their heads in sleep is obviously impossible.
Wuji Gu had to get up, grabbed his clean clothes and prepared to go to the outside bathroom to take another shower before his sleep quality was affected. At the moment he got up, a piece of shiny stuff fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Wuji Gu reached out and picked the thing up and found it to be golden scales that looked beautiful as they glowed in the faint light.
............
......
At this moment a player is yawning and coming out towards the washroom.
He had just slept quite well, hadn't had any accidents at all, and now he just wanted to come out to use the bathroom.
But when he came out of the room, he felt that the situation was a bit wrong, the temperature here seemed to be a bit low, the lights in the corridor were very dim, and he could vaguely see the light from the washroom lit up at the end of the corridor.
"There should be nothing wrong with it." The player was immediately alert, he had also purchased information from the system before coming to this copy.
"It is reasonable to say that this copy is not that dangerous ......boss should be something that is studied in this institute, and it is not possible to sneak here now, it is still only the first day of the copy."
Although this comforted himself, he still held the props for self-defense in his hands, and then slowly walked towards the washroom location.
After knocking on the door, there was no movement inside. The player took a deep breath and violently pushed the door open, finding it empty and without anyone inside.
"It should just be scary, the first day usually does not appear anything too terrible." The player's heart vaguely relieved, on the side of the fly to solve the physiological problems, followed by washing his hands in a washstand, by the way splashing water on his face to calm calm.
But just as he put the water to his face, he suddenly seemed to hear some weird sound, and then felt the whole space fell silent.
The player immediately wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to be pressed against the sink by an irresistible force. And it seems that what he saw in front of him was no longer a washstand, but some deep bottomless pool into which most of his body had been planted at this point.
He began to struggle, but to no avail, his body props and abilities seemed to be sealed at this point.
And when the player tried his best to hold his breath and look around, he saw a sight that made his eyes widen. In the pitch-black water, several hands that had been turned into skeletons emerged and grabbed towards his body.
The player's body can't stop backing up, but it's not the least bit useful.
Just when he felt he was going to be completely accounted for here, the door next to him was violently pushed open.
Somehow the player suddenly felt his body had the strength to violently open the prop he had been holding in his hand, and then his body finally broke free from this weird space, and the whole person fell to the ground.
He looked in shock at the location of the sink, which at this time did not look the least bit different, as if what had just happened was his hallucination.
"Are you all right?" Wuji Gu couldn't help but inquire.
As soon as he pushed the door, he saw this player weirdly glaring at the sink, obviously looking fine, but the water stains on the other player's face and hair were growing and his face was getting harder and harder.
Not waiting for Wuji Gu think about how to help, the body of the golden scales suddenly a burst of heat, the other party directly sat down on the ground, a look like a dream awakened.
"Thank you very much." The player stood up with difficulty, although he didn't know what was going on, but apparently it was Wuji Gu's arrival that stopped things from getting worse, and he didn't hide what was happening to him, "I was just washing my hands, and suddenly I felt pressed into the sea water, and there were countless evil spirits in that water, and I almost drowned in it. "
Wuji Gu could not help but think deeply at his words, "It seems to me that you are just standing there. Could it be that the ghost of this copy is able to create illusions for people, but if it's an ordinary illusion, it's not so bad that people are all wet with seawater ......"
The player shook his head with a palpitating look, "Is the thing studied in this institute some kind of water ghost? It's also too tm scary."
"Didn't you all inquire about anything yesterday?" Wuji Gu took the opportunity to inquire.
"No ah." The player said, "The people here are like sawed-off gourds ...... I think it's more like they're purposely hiding secrets from us, and that look is not quite normal at all. I guess these NPCs still want us to be cannon fodder first."
"Makes sense." Wuji Gu said, "After all, this institute can't just spend a lot of money to hire us amateurs to do chores for no reason."
"Damn it, I'm going to be unable to stand it anyway." The male player said, "It seems that this copy is far more troublesome than we thought, so you should be more careful too."
The words fell, he hurriedly left the place, apparently afraid of encountering any further danger here. I don't know if this person will dare to take a bath for a few days afterwards.
Wuji Gu completely did not give up his idea of continuing to shower, he took a few steps forward to the sink to take a closer look, but found nothing, "Maybe the thing that will make people encounter danger is the liquid, but my room is clearly nothing liquid, but I also dreamed of that weird thing ...... "
And at that time the man was awake so quickly, obviously the role of this golden scales.
"What exactly does this golden scale represent?" Wuji Gu Although unclear, he understood very well that such things must not be known to outsiders and put the golden scales away.
Wuji Gu tentatively turned the faucet on, but nothing happened. The clear water does not even have any impurities in it, and even the yin energy in the bathroom just now has dissipated.
"What should be the connection other than that to make that person fall into a hallucination, what is it?"
Wuji Gu pondered while bathing up next to him as if nothing was wrong. It is not possible to let him not take a shower for a few days because the boss here may have something to do with water! Wuji Gu's professionalism as an actor would never allow him to do such a thing.
If the player who just walked away knew that Wuji Gu was actually taking a shower right now, he would have fallen into silence.
-------
The next day, the crowd gathered for breakfast.
Some of the people inside looked in good spirits, but most of them were depressed, as if they had all encountered something bad last night, but it could be heard from their chatter that they were having trouble sleeping because of the eerie songs that echoed in their ears all night long.
As for the player who met with Wuji Gu in the bathroom last night, he was already pale and showed fear at the sight of the liquid, fearing that he would encounter that situation again.
Yuanzhou Lu's face looked quite good, and he told Wuji Gu that he hadn't dreamed anything and slept until dawn.
Wuji Gu is also very calm, although yesterday he can be said to have encountered ghosts twice, but he still calmly went to the shower and went back to his room to sleep, so that the current situation does not look like a person who has hit a ghost at all.
He probably told Yuanzhou Lu briefly about what happened yesterday and asked him to pay attention to it.
Yuanzhou Lu looked grave and nodded at once.
At that moment, Director Aona Fei walked in, looking as casual as ever, as if he had just woken up and hadn't washed up, even spilling coffee on his body while eating.
This Aona Fei director can be said to be the most alive person in the Institute, even though he is full of suspicions, the crowd could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at the sight.
Aona Fei, the director of the company, then asked the staff, and when he looked at the players, he lingered for a while on the ones who didn't look well, and asked, "Are you all right? You don't seem to be in good spirits, you can say anything bad and I will find a way to solve it."
These people where dare to let the npc know their real situation, immediately have to find excuses, said they are just too tired plus not too used to the environment, last night this is insomnia.
Aona Fei just laughs at this and smiles, "So, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of getting used to it, we have plenty of time."
Of course his smile fell in the eyes of the players are unspeakably bizarre.
Today's work is different from yesterday's, and everyone's position has changed a bit. Aona Fei said it is to explore everyone's potential and find the most suitable position for everyone, so that people can work here with peace of mind and happiness, without worrying about their lack of ability.
His attitude was very sincere and moving, and the content of what he said was smashing, almost as if it were true.
If the players had not been vaguely aware of the problem before coming, last night was also some bizarre things happened, the most important thing is that they are still here to play a copy, they can really all believe today.
Wuji Gu thought it was a waste for this person to be the director of this institute, but was a bit glad that Aona Fei didn't go into any pyramid scheme. Otherwise, this copy may become a group of players to rescue the poor people in the pyramid / sales organizations.
But they anyway people have come, this Aona Fei director by definition simply do not have to worry about them know regret how, and all can not run out ...... now but also such a promise of various benefits, as if they are willing to do something similar.
"It seems that the boss of this copy should be able to affect a certain kind of human spirit, and that human emotions and will might have an effect on it as well."
Wuji Gu is keenly aware that those players with bad faces seem to be placed in positions that sound quite important.
Although I don't know exactly how it is, it all sounds like a job where you can get in touch with the researchers and think you can inquire more about it, making these tortured and haggard players instantly happy.
As for those of them who were in good shape, they were put on hard labor like jobs. This made a lot of players who were thankful before turn pale, had they known things would be like this, they would have made themselves haggard as well.
As the players scattered, the smile on Director Aona Fei's face slowly disappeared as he entered the elevator and prepared to go down deeper.
The female researcher following behind her had a hard look on her face and inquired, " Director Aona Fei, is there really anyone among these new people who can solve the current problem ...... If it drags on, the situation will definitely get worse. Yesterday alone, two more researchers committed suicide."
"It shouldn't be much of a problem. That 'thing' has gotten a lot quieter since they came in. I'm sure there's someone among these people that it's looking for, and as long as we find that person, the situation will be able to be suppressed to a manageable extent." Aona Fei spoke.
Aona Fei at this time not at all in front of the player that casual look, face extremely serious. After all, before the impending crisis, he no longer has that patience.
"Can't we just send all of these people in?" The researcher behind him spoke anxiously, "I don't even know how many more people will die today, the institute is already on edge ......"
She did not care in the slightest about the life and death of these people outside, who were already doomed from the moment they entered anyway.
Compared to these people who have little value, it's people like her who die here that are really a serious loss. What's even more frightening is that now in this situation, she can't even leave, and if she can't solve the problem at hand, all of them will have to be accounted for here.
"Sending these people in, is it fodder for it?" Aona Fei's face sank and she looked at the researcher with a very grim look, "Don't you forget, if you let it grow completely, that's when something even more terrible will happen."
That researcher's face suddenly changed, as if remembering something extremely terrible, and even said, "Director, it was me who was too impulsive at once ...... very sorry."
She had a cold sweat trickling down her face, not expecting what she thought was a good job, things would actually turn out this way now.
............
......
Wuji Gu and another player were sent to clean a certain room and incidentally feed the test subjects inside.
Led by the staff to change into a work uniform, as well as tie up the hair and wear a mask, the two were allowed to enter the space.
"You better not make too much noise when you go in, lest you affect the test subjects." The staff cautioned, "These test subjects are very fragile, being frightened may go wrong, and then your whole body organs will not be able to pay even if you sell them."
Although he seemed to be worried about the test subjects, Wuji Gu sensed in his tone a sense of fear that he had not succeeded in concealing.
He's afraid of what's in this room.
"As for feeding, you just need to put this piece of meat into the water, and they will come and eat it by themselves." The staff member's expression has started to look unnatural this time, "but move faster, if they bite it, something bad might happen."
Wuji Gu and the male player: "......" what do you mean by bad things, this is simply already life-threatening it!
Then the staff opened the door of the icehouse next to it, and there were big to small barrels, each filled with meat, "You each choose a barrel to take away."
The male player tentatively lifted one of the medium-sized barrels and his face just changed, "This is too heavy, what kind of meat is all this?"
He even felt that he was not carrying any piece of meat, but like ...... carrying a whole person, which is not at all the size of such a barrel should have the weight.
But considering the safety of life, the male player still hardened the barrel to lift up.
The staff look vaguely as if with a little pity, as if they have seen the miserable future of the people in front of them.
Wuji Gu, on the other hand, went up and lifted the largest bucket, moving as easily as if he were picking up a hair, leaving the two people next to him dumbfounded.
The male player instantly felt that he was not too vain, no, obviously Wuji Gu's strength is too amazing, right! It looks like a white boy, but he is actually so fierce.
Wuji Gu even had the leisure effort to use the other hand to lift another bucket, the staff immediately came forward to stop, "This, the rules are only allowed to take a ......"
Wuji Gu shook both buckets with meat as if nothing had happened, with a harmonious and friendly smile on his face, "What did you say? I didn't seem to hear you just now."
"Nothing." The staff member gave in, he simply did not dare to fight Wuji Gu hard, if Wuji Gu used this body strength on him, he was afraid that he would not just die in place.
The two men were let in with various tools in their hands.
"Brother Sun, you are really great." The male player looked at Wuji Gu's eyes already vaguely with some admiration, he originally thought Wuji Gu was just the kind of white boy who relied on his face ...... but now, others are much tougher than him! The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
"It's not much."
This is a space that looks quite large, the floor seems to have undried water stains, and some scattered around as if torn pieces of flesh, looks disgusting. And aside is a huge pool, but perhaps because of the light, they can not see what is in the water.
What Wuji Gu noticed was that there were many monitors mounted on the walls, and some intense lines of sight focused on his body, even giving him the illusion that he too was a test subject being watched in this room.
No, this may not be his illusion, but real.
"Brother Sun, what the hell is this place researching." The man could not help but feel hairy, "and so concealed from saying, and let us come in to clean up, and even to feed, if that experiment is really so valuable, this should not all let a little more professional people to do?"
Although they didn't know each other well, they were the only ones present, and having just seen Wuji Gu's bravery, the male player immediately made himself familiar with Wuji Gu and climbed up.
"It can't be anything ordinary anyway." Wuji Gu thought of something and suddenly said, "Did you hear that voice they were talking about?"
"No." The player shook his head and sighed, "Nothing has happened since I got here, and I thought it was peaceful, but who knew that everyone was saying that there was a problem at night. If I had known I would have pretended I heard it too, then maybe I wouldn't have had to come to this shitty place to feed some experiment."
"So, maybe it's because not being able to hear ...... would be of no use to the people of this institute, so they are going to get rid of us casually." Wuji Gu spoke in a deep voice.
He actually encountered something even more bizarre, but because of his really good psychological qualities, he was also apparently considered as someone who hadn't encountered anything, so he was placed on this side.
"Why is that." The male player's face changed, "Even if it doesn't work, we don't know anything yet! Is it necessary to just silence them?"
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe we've discovered secrets we shouldn't know when you and I didn't even notice." Wuji Gu said, and then said to him, "You just guessed right, this place is indeed very dangerous."
"What?" The male player looked at Wuji Gu nervously, now he had literally put all his hopes on the man in front of him, "Did you find anything?"
"After all, that the meat on the ground can be seen, here the test subjects are certainly able to go ashore, and the staff let us two casually come in ......" Wuji Gu said, and shook the iron barrel in his hand, " Originally, if it was just two buckets of food, it might not be enough. Although I've got an extra bucket now, there's no guarantee that these things won't turn on us."
The male player already had an ugly look on his face, "This, damn it, if we make an effort, the normal monsters should still be able to resist. I just don't know if the npc's at this institute will let us go."
"And, from just when we just met the staff ......" Wuji Gu's eyes looked to where the water was.
The original calm water surface, at this time has been flooded with ripples, as if the existence inside heard the movement of people outside, and finally to emerge from it.
"I've just heard it, the sound they make."
"What--"
